Ha, I was contemplating saying that instead. But to stay serious, this is pretty awesome. I might hold off rooting if the date gets announced soon. I think it was perfect time to get rid of my incredible since it's not in the list.

I heard "later this year" for the Rezound on a recent Verizon twitter post.... I'm not holding my breath. And even this link says "sometime this year". That's pretty vague if you ask me.

Ah... from the thread title I thought it was just about new phones with ICS pre-installed.
Why is it up to Verizon anyway? I don't need to get windows updates from my ISP. I don't get why things have to be so different on cell phones. (Other than greed and control, which leads back to greed.)

Rezound will be the Last to get Update as shown on Verizon List . Nicely done Verizon

I don't think the 3g/4g version did.

I doubt the order of the list dictates the order of update as we (resound) have a very solid leak of ics. Does the rhyme or Droid inc 2 yet?

I know, I bet if they were to release ICS tomorrow with Sense 4.0 and people would be like "I'm sooo pissed that they didn't give it to us yesterday! I mean, you know they had it ready, why didn't they just release it?".
People just need to relax already, have some patience. Also, I really doubt Verizon had a huge executive meeting/decision for the order in which devices were listed. Plus, with the Rom options available to you for it in the last couple of days - you have you're option RIGHT NOW.

my wifi xoom has had it for a while now..they just haven't done it for 3g/4g version..

this list is essentially what HTC already confirmed? that we would get ics..

I'm glad I updated from the X2 to the Rezound. I was almost certain the X2 wouldn't get it. It wasn't a very popular phone, it has half the RAM as the Droid Incredible 2 as well I think.

The list is in chronological order, from oldest phone to newest, by manufacturer. No conspiracy against the Rezound.

I'm pretty sure the INC2 and the Thunderbolt have 768MB of RAM and the X2 has 512.
So it would seem 768 is the cutoff point, at least roughly.

[Q] Gingerbread...

Anyone know when we might get gingerbread?
The droid family is now getting it as OTA :S
I have a feeling motorola is waiting for the next update to release to put on this phone. rather than waste time on an incremental change.
But seeing the original android phones on at&t, this update could be a long ways away. Just my opinion.

where do you people keep getting this idea? The CURRENT version on the atrix supports dual core. It's been proven. What doesn't support dual cores is most apps. The delay is not on a version that supports multicore, so stop spreading that piece of false information.
Never the less....

So cynical, cousin!
We all know that the release process goes through the carrier after the manufacturer is done with it. For all we know it could be ATT that is dragging its feet whereas Verizon is moving more quickly.
I, perhaps naively, think that Moto won't drop the ball on its flagship device.

[Q] ics ota this week??

From what I've seen and heard, being rooted won't prevent you from receiving this OTA, but you will lose root access unless you backup su and temp-unroot with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper or the like.
I also work for BIG RED and OTA will be be rolling out of tomorrow.

I wonder if the leaked ICS is the same as the OTA?
The only word anyone's seen is from Best Buy, not Verizon or Moto. The fact that the leak/soak test exists is a sign we're close(but who knows how close). I guess we'll all be really happy, or super pissed tomorrow @3:01 am... Lol

Unlikely to be soon, seeing as there are no known soak tests for ICS on the XT910 yet. Knowing Moto's treatment of their GSM users, we probably won't get an ICS OTA until the MAXX is out over here... in May.

Most likely scenario is that the ICS work was originally being carried out for the GSM RAZR, then someone in management intervened and made the DROID RAZR a priority due to Moto's contract with Verizon. I imagine once the ICS update goes live and there are no showstoppers, they'll continue to QA test the update internally for about a month before pushing it out as a soak test for a week, before finally pushing the release version.

You'll have to go on the Moto forums and update your profile to opt-in with your IMEI. They're still sending out emails but as far as I know they haven't launched the actual test.

I actually thought it meant, "Our original ICS version had at least 1 major bug that we discovered when testing in real-world situations and we aren't going to release it until it is ready for everyone."
Of course, they could have also meant, "At least one of our 'content partners' (who are paying big bucks to get their advertisement disguised as an application inserted into our release) hasn't actually sent in their app yet and we aren't going to release it until it is monefied for everyone."
LOL im so surprised people are surprised by lack of updates from telus/rogers/bell
we may get most phones before the usa, but we pay for it with our carriers holding back updates

throw on one of the highly debloated roms in the dev section based off LE2 leak.
or go one further and put one of the aosp based roms on there and be gone with all the ATT and Samsung bloat

I don't like AOSP ROMs, I was using OnlyOne HYFR B4, and it still has those AT&T things in Wi-Fi settings, and carrier name on the status bar.
Actually they were not big deal but it had some kind of bug, when I try installing an app from APK file, I can click "Cancel" but I can't click "Install".
So, I will be staying on rooted stock Gingerbread ROM with the holoNote kernel and wait for official ICS from TELUS.
Wow that's rediculous.....

Gnex is ICS out of the box.
@JamieD81, we're in the same boat with bricked N7000's. I bought another N7000 with a cracked screen just for the motherboard, since the only place to get N7000's fixed is in Europe. Plus I went thru 3 mainboards on my I9000M. I still buy Sammie's crap, but I'm being a little more careful about flashing roms now. I'm waiting until the official rom is released, and played with enough before I throw my i717 on the line this time.

Oh well not the worst thing in the world at least we have leaks but maybe on the 12th we could see if the s2 X official ics modem will work with our phone for better hspa speeds as I'm sure allot of people on Telus don't have LTE available
Edit: S2X ICS was released today ahead of schedule before an ATT or T-Mobile release, so the future is looking friendly (<-- see what I did there)
They updated the schedule !

ICS in Sprint e-mail

So did anyone else get the Sprint message about getting their Photon to run faster, which suggested clearing the browser cache? - Bigger question is did anyone else notice that the Photon in the picture was running either ICS or JB!? It was, complete with the new rounded click/weather widgets and five icons along the bottom of the screen. Now if they'd only distribute and release the source, it would make the devs jobs easier, having ICS/JB drivers.

Fingers crossed that new parent Google slaps some sense into Motorola and unlocks the boot loader and releases ICS or JB soon with source code. You know the expression about the chances being slim to none, well slim is on life support I guess.

And is there anything whatsoever in your experience that would conceivably lead you to expect them to be as early as possible rather than as late as possible?
That, of course, leaves aside the question of whether there's anything in your experience that would lead you to expect them to honor this claim in the first place.
Ah ! Moto at it again. With Photon Q LTE out with JB, it is unlikely that we will now get an update to either ICS or JB, even though Google 'promised' to keep hardware refreshed for 18 months. We will most likely be extended an olive branch of $100 credit towards another 'Moto Phone' ... really Moto ?
This is my last Moto phone and likely last Android as well. I am ready to convert to Lumia 920.

Technically the 18 months is not over yet. It has only been close to 14 months since the release of the Photon 4G so Motorola could pull something out of its hat and possibly give us a JB update in early January 2013. All these hints about offering $100 for a future Moto device for any 2011 devices that don't receive the ICS upgrade is pretty telling to me.

This is the update I was told about by tech support when I kept complaining about SIM card problems to Verizon after I borked (voice service, sms/mms suddenly stopped working while lte worked fine) my launch day device. I had insurance through a kiosk store so in order to avoid a refurb with 2.04 installed I plunked down $75 deductible for a brand new rootable replacement (so glad I did!). I literally had to physically damage it in order to do so even though the only thing wrong was no voice service. Anyway... The sales rep at the kiosk told me Sense5 (Android 4.2) is expected soon as well in another OTA update, but I wonder why they wouldn't have just put these updates together? Something does smell a bit fishy here.
I haven't had any SIM errors with my replacement so I'll steer around this one for now... How does Sense5 (4.2) sound for the DNA with an official release? Newt's port is pretty impressive but an official version might just smooth things out even more. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but why would VZW update the DNA if a newer device like the One is around the corner using Sense5? Wouldn't it make more "sense" to hold off on the 4.2 update to make us all want new phones? I heard they weren't going to carry it but who knows?

Because it's 1000x easier to make a update to fix 1 specific thing and have it approved by verizon then it is to essentially rewrite everyrhing and have months of back and forth between Verizon and HTC.

So does that mean we most likely will never have an "official" version of Sense5? Thank God for newt's port cuz this thing is humming and I'm very impressed with zoe.

I read somewhere we will see sense 5 once the one is released in the States. Probably by the end of the month I assume.

LOL.. I'm locked stocked on 2.04 so I'll do it once it's available... can't make things much worse for me...
I checked for new update... nothing yet
No one knows what they are doing but I'm happy they are still supporting this device.

Don't be expecting an ota update to sense 5 from Verizon anytime soon.
And newts port(and everyone else's port too) doesn't have zoe...
